The problem with using medications for insomnia is that they’re expensive and they don’t work long-term, reports Philly.com.

That is why it is so heartening that a growing body of research shows that CBT-i provides that same relief when delivered to adolescents. What’s more, a recently published study that followed teens for one year after receiving just six sessions of CBT-i showed that they continued to report improved sleep during that time, but also fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression.
